Why HMOs
- A HMO is a house of multiple occupation, where individuals share communal facilities
- HMOs often have bedrooms downstairs and additional kitchens and bathrooms where required
- Bills are normally payed for by the landlord, making rooms affordable
- Rental prices have increased, so more professionals are sharing rooms
- There is a huge shortage of affordable housing in the UK with over 1.37 million people on a waiting list
- Housing Associations & Charities are looking for socially and ethically responsible landlords
- We have built an investment model to provide safe, clean and sustainable housing for elderly & homeless people, ensuring it is compliant with HMO standards.
- The properties are selected in areas where demand is high for professional lets medical staff and student lets, which makes the investment future proof as there are various rental streams available.
Since 2002, demand for rental property has almost doubled. Rental properties currently account for just 11% of the total housing stock, which is great news for buy-to-let investors, particularly whilst rental yields are rising.
